The RX560 would be the better performer. But you will be at the mercy of the laptop manufacturer. They decide how much power and how fast the GPU runs at. According to articles the Nvidia MX150 is a mobile version of the GTX 1030. According to benchmarks the RX 560X desktop variant gets nearly...

I have a ceiling fan right in between the 2 base stations that I have. Use the sync cable and set the base stations to the proper mode. It solved my issues. Also make sure your stations are angled at roughly 35 degrees. Additionally remove any reflective objects or obstruct them in some way...

I had a similar problem but it wasn't the battery alone, the charger was also at fault. When the battery is plugged in the charger will attempt to run both the laptop and charge the battery. If the charger isn't capable of that power anymore the laptop will shut off or refuse to turn on.

It depends on the plug-in. And my fault for overlooking the CPU requirements. I rarely worry about that for my own computer anymore. There are plenty of free VST plugins out there. Friend of mine used it to run a condensor on a FX 4300 CPU. Didn't complain about any problems. I use my VST for...

Check out your motherboards settings for audio. Most will allow you to apply echo cancellation or noise suppression. Just right click the speaker at the bottom and click "Recording Devices". From there you can test settings for the mic, just right click the mic and click properties...

You need to go into your BIOS/UEFI and tell your iGPU to use what RAM you want. I have mine set to use 4gb RAM, the max it will allow.

I had an old Compaq Presario. I used it to host minecraft servers with its measly 4gb ram and dual core CPU. Also used it for hosting a teamspeak server. You can use your spare HP in the same way. If you have USB flash drive you can put an OS on it like Ubuntu. Provided your laptop can boot...

Take it apart again and check all the cables. I've forgotten to plug the power button back in several times and had a heart attack nearly every time as a result.

You aren't going to find a "gaming" laptop anywhere near $500USD. But if you do want a laptop that performs the best while gaming look for AMD laptops. I've heard they have better iGPU performance over intel. Gaming laptops start at around $750USD for lower performance ones. If you can find a...

Haha. The laptop I mentioned with problems was a Presario CQ61. It has a new motherboard, new charger, and new owner. Last I checked it's still running strong. If your computer is having power issues and freezing it might be a grounding issue. Either some of the aluminum tape or screws are...

4 reasons I've found from experience. Bad battery. You should replace every year at most every 2. Bad charger. If the charger isn't outputting enough juice to charge the battery then the battery won't charge regardless if the computer is on or off. Had this problem with a Compaq laptop. A...

On 120v USA outlet there is only about 1500watts in the wall. A way around the wattage limit is to plug into a different outlet on a different breaker (I think). 240v has about 4800watts.

I loved my G930. Had a great mic. I recently replaced it a HyperX Cloud Revolver and their mic doesn't have nearly as good noise reduction or bass pickup as my 930. 930 and 430 have the same mics. G930 and 430 are the same headset. The 930 supports wireless and has macro buttons, that's where...

The Logitech G230 and G430 are good options. I owned the G930 which was the wireless equivalent. Had all the same core components. G230 only supports stereo where as the G430 and G930 support surround sound, which I hardly used anyway.

Have you tried the method of flashing a bunch of colors on the screen rapidly? If not then it would seem that pixel is too much of a rebel to be tamed. If your monitor is still under warranty and if it's bothering you that much I would contact the manufacturer and see about sending it in for...
